India is home to one of the most vibrant startup ecosystems, with close to 8,000 tech startups, making it the 2nd largest startup ecosystem in the world. Hence, innovation and entrepreneurship are the emerging focus areas that are being aggressively promoted to give a boost to the Indian economy. The Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, is leading and facilitating a gamut of innovation and IPR related activities across the country towards the expansion of this ecosystem.
The DAWNfeed.com has been established under the aegis of Software Technology Parks of India [(hereinafter called STPI), which is an autonomous body under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India] with a mission to build a conducive innovation and start-up ecosystem by bringing together various technology innovation stakeholders, breaking away from the culture of working in silos, and paving the way towards a strong economy built on the twin engines of innovation and disruption.
It acts as a hub and ensures synergies among all the Incubation Centers, Centres of Excellence on Emerging Technologies and other existing platforms, supported by MeitY for facilitating crisscrossing of technology resources, sharing best practices and ideas across the entire innovation and start-up ecosystem. The Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC) is an Autonomous Scientific Society of MeitY that facilitates certain activities and actions of MSH.
DAWNfeed.com, with STPI as its administrator and CDAC as its facilitator, strives for excellence in transforming the innovation and start-up ecosystem in the country.
